It’s bad the regime’s handpicked propagandist at CBS killed a 60 Minutes story about the government’s offshored concentration camp. It’s a good thing that the normals who watch 60 Minutes are going to know the government tells CBS what news it’s allowed to air.

Fourteen million people are likely going to die as a result of USAID being destroyed.
This is not theoretical or a thought experiment - these are human lives that are being thoughtlessly snuffed out.
